Physics — C-Level
Thirteen chapters — from rotational motion and fluid dynamics through modern physics.
Chapter 1
Rotational Motion
Angular displacement, velocity and acceleration, how they relate to linear motion, and centripetal acceleration.
Chapter 2
Forces in Circular Motion
What actually supplies the centripetal force in circular motion — tension, friction, gravity, or a banked track — vertical circles, and why centrifugal force is a fictitious force.
Chapter 3
Fluid Dynamics
Laminar vs. turbulent flow, the continuity equation, Bernoulli's equation and its applications, viscosity, and surface tension.
Chapter 4
Sources of Energy and Environmental Impacts
The energy crisis, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, and the environmental consequences of how we generate energy.
Chapter 5
Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics
How heat moves, the first law of thermodynamics, and how heat engines convert heat into work.
Chapter 6
Effects and Characteristics of Sound
How sound travels, echoes, audibility, the Doppler effect, and the properties of sound waves.
Chapter 7
Applications of Light and Optical Instruments
How the camera, the eye, microscopes, telescopes, lasers, fibre optics, spectrometers and photometry all put light to work.
Chapter 8
Interference and Diffraction of Light
Huygens' principle, interference and diffraction of light, and how a diffraction grating splits it into a spectrum.
Chapter 9
Capacitor and Capacitance
What a capacitor is, the parallel-plate capacitor, the energy it stores, and combining capacitors in series and parallel.
Chapter 10
Electrical Energy, Power and Heating Effect of Electric Current
EMF and circuits, batteries in series and parallel, electrical power, and Joule's law of heating.
Chapter 11
Electromagnetic Induction, Generation and Distribution of Electricity
Alternating current, Faraday's and Lenz's laws, and how electricity is transmitted, wired into houses, and used safely.
Chapter 12
Digital Electronics and Communication System
Electronic systems, analog vs. digital signals, logic gates, and the basics of electronic communication.
Chapter 13
Modern Physics
Radioactivity and its uses, nuclear energy and its environmental impact, wave-particle dualism, and the principle of special relativity.
